North Curl Curl Beach Maternity Session: Ruth + Chris

Ruth and Chris have recently welcomed their second baby girl into the world & let me tell you, these fabulous parents and their eldest daughter had great fun at their North Curl Curl Beach maternity session earlier this year. While we walked around the beach, the sun was starting to set for golden hour photos.

North Curl Curl Beach is one of my favourite locations to have a photoshoot as it offers both grass and sand to utilise for the photos. There is also a small lagoon which is very shallow and safe for children to paddle in.

When Ruth contacted me initially we chatted about what she would wear. I showed her photos of my range of maternity dresses that are available for all my clients to wear if they choose. As she is blonde, I recommended that she wear the chiffon pink dress and that she start the session in her own dress, that would tie in with the blues that Chris and their daughter was going to wear.

Their three year old daughter was looking forward to being a big sister. She told me that she had a doll and that was her baby, just like her mum's. We had lots of fun playing in the sea and on the beach. Luckily it was a very warm Autumn day and we had a breathtaking sunset too, to finish off the session and you can see it for yourself below.

I couldn’t have been more honoured to take these photographs that they will get to pass on to their children for generations. Enjoy!
